Court investigates alleged match fixing in Copa del Rey

The Hindu  

A Spanish court is investigating alleged match fixing in a Copa del Rey game between Huracan Melilla and Levante in 2021, LaLiga said on Thursday. A regional court of Melilla has opened an investigation and six people, including a former Huracan Melilla player, have already appeared before the court for questioning, LaLiga said in a statement. Police said a former Huracan Melilla player was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly participating in fixing several matches in order to profit from betting. “We want to make clear that if any active member of the club is involved, disciplinary and judicial actions will be taken immediately.” The Copa del Rey is organised by the Spanish Football Association, not by LaLiga, which runs the First and Second divisions in Spain.
